Boris Johnson to mislead Partygate inquiry next week
FTFY
>He later admitted his original statements had since proved incorrect. However, he has insisted he believed them to be true at the time and has denied deliberately misleading Parliament.
Followed shortly after, in the article, by photographic evidence of this being a(nother) lie
I’ve come to detest him as much as I did Thatcher – probably moreso.
The beginning and the end of this should be a clip of him saying “all rules were followed” next to a collage of pics of him at these different parties.
I know there’s protocol to follow and sincerely hope he’s determined to have lied, but the fact there’s an inquiry at all already gives a misleading impression that there’s even a discussion to be had.
He’ll be suspended from parliament for 1 day. The standards committee don’t want to be seen as throwing people out of parliament, so that’s why the punishments we see, even for things like sexual assault, are so low (any suspension over 10 days leads to a recall petition, which would almost certainly succeed in most cases).
Anyone who is expecting him to tell the truth is kidding themselves
Jean-Quatremer is a french journalist. He has been the Brussels correspondent for the newspaper Liberation for 30 years. Here is how he described Boris Johnson.
>At the time, before entering UK politics, Boris Johnson was a journalist. He lived in Brussels for 5 years as the correspondent for the Daily Telegraph. That’s how I got to know him.
>He was sort of a celebrity in Brussels. Everyone in the European press considered him an absolute joke. Everyone. The rich son of a senior EU bureaucrat, Boris didn’t hesitate to manufacture false outrageous stories, and did not feel any guilt about lying. More shockingly, his lies were supported by the editors of The Telegraph.
>Dressing funnily, he sometimes came to EU press conferences while wearing dirty clothes.
>On a personal level, he is very sociable. He always came up to me asking “What’s in the news Jean?”
>He sounds like a clown but make no mistake, he is pure product of the Oxbridge Ruling Class. He has an immense culture and should not be underestimated. A journalist once saw him reading book a latin
>I don’t think Johnson has an ideology. This man doesn’t seem believe in anything, except whatever suits his own interests.

One day, Boris will deny he was ever prime minister.
What’s the betting that his evidence would sound more likes drinks order…
